Mrs. Lydia T.. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass:
about the first OF September, 1881, my
wife was taken with uterine hemorrhage
The best styptics the physician could
prescribe did not check 10 and she got
more and more enfeebled. She was
troubled with Prolapsus Utori, Leucor-
rhoa, numbness OF tho linn bs, sickness OF
the stomach and loss OF appetite. pur-
chased n trial bottle of your Vegetable
Compound. She said she could discover
n salutary effect from the first dose.
Now she Is comparatively free from the
Prolapsus, Stomach's sickness, etc. Tho
hemorrhage Is very much better and Is
less at the regular periods. Her appetite
IL restored, and her general health and
strength are much improved. We feel
that we have been wonderfully benefited
and our hearts are drawn out In gratitude
for the same and In sympathy for other
sufferers, for whose sake we allow our
names TO DO used."

Depends on How You Do It.

"Well, which are really the more injuri. ous, cigars or cigarettes2" asked pretty girl of beflanneled member of the Bel mont Tennis club, at the clubs court yes terday afternoon.
 ''I'll show you," said he, and turning, he called to friend: "Ned, toss me a cigar" Then he took out fine cambric linen handkerchief, and blew whiff of smoke through the cobweb texture. "Oh, look how black it is," said the young lady for whose sake the experiment was being made.
 "Now look," said the club man. He lighted the cigar and puffed till he got a good volume of smoke, which he poured through the meshes of the handkerchief again. A scarcely perceptible stain was left on its whiteness.
 '1"Well, that proves it," said the fair in- vestigator. "Myi just think of that hor- rid black stuff all settling in your lungsp'
 "Wait one moment" said the experi- menter, and he repeated the experiment. with the opposite result.
 "Well, how is thatf' was the aston ished question.
 "Why, it is simply due to the difference in the way you place your lips when you impel the smoke through the linen. Hold them tight and blow hard and it leaves a stain upon them, and barely force the smoke through and you get almost no trace. e."-Philadelphia News.

senator rarxell,. rexas Land.


 Senator Charles " Farwell, of Illinois, and his partners, his brother and Abner Taylor, of Chicago, will make from $15,- COG, 900 to SEQ, ,000, 900 in their Texas land speculation. It is said that the state of Texas has given to the Farwen company 100000 acres of land in Texas. The land today is worth $5 an acre, and the state buildings did not cost more than $1,000,000. The land is all fenced in. Seventy-five thousand cattle are now on 1t, and more are to follow. It comprises enough territory for principality. The Farwell company have their headquarters in London. English capitalists own about one-quarter of the stock.
 This great and successful venture was brought to the Farwells by an impecuni- ous and visionary man, who obtained the contracts which he sold to the Farwell company. The story goes that the man happened to be in Austin, and hearing that the state was offering land to any one who would put up state buildings he calmly walked up and took the contract, when he had barely enough money in his pocket to pay his fare to Chicago. The same men who gave away such block of land rather than raise the money neces- sary by taxation of course never dreamed of questioning the contractors financial ability. He had some trouble in convinc- ing the Farwells of the value of the land, owing to their distrust of the visionary contractors judgment, but investigation showed the value, and the contract was purchased for few thousand dollars, and Q property was obtained which will net its owners many millions.

The Guillotine at Paris.

The distance from the prison door to the guillotine is not more than twenty steps. The executions take place at the dawn of day, and as far as anything being seen by the crowd they are practically private. Only the journalists and few privileged ones are admitted on the square. At 9 o'clock in the morning the cavalry and in- fantry of the Paris Municipal guard, 100 each, fifty cavalry gendarmes and about 900 policemen appear. The soldiers push back the mob so as to leave the entire square clear. Shortly afterward the exc cutioner arrives in a large red wagon which contains the guillotine. The in- strument is packed in number of cases, each piece being numbered. The aids put 1t together, the work not lasting over half an hour. When the knife is in place the headsman tries its edge on a small bundle of straw to see that 1t slides easily and cuts well. Just before the moment of execution the gendarmes range themselves in horseshoe form around the guillotine and two rows of policemen form line from the prison door to the instrument. It is through this line that the condemned passes.-Paris Cor. The Epoch.

Narrow Escape from Angry Bees.

A farmer who is an expert in the culture Of bees declares that they are the most in teresting of creatures, and that their "cuteness" is wonderful. Like all living creatures, the bee has natural enemy; in this case it is the moth miller, which some times drives the swarms to desperation and frenzy. Then it is that the wary keep at safe distance from the hives. This particular bee owner once saw a peculiar instance of the bees hatred of black ob- jects. It became necessary in some way to rearrange something belonging to the hive, when, like host of furies, the en. ragged inmates flew out en masse and at tackled the dsturber of their peace. Quick as thought the farmers wife ran and threw her white apron over the husbands head, whereupon the bees did not alight on him, but instead attacked two innocent black hens who happened near by, and stung them to death.-Boston Post.

Employment for Prisonsrs.

Oakum picking is doomed even in mill
 tary prisons. Sir F. Du Cane's last re- port on the discipline and management of these institutions is full of testimony for the more excellent plan of employing prisoners on less monotonous and more productive work. There is military prison at Brixton, and here the governor perceives a steady amelioration in the conduct of his prisoners. He attributes this improvement in great degree to the pursuit of industries which improve their bodily and mental health.-London News.
